Question about Edit Original feature

If I place a jpg image in Illustrator, then click Edit Original, it opens the image in Windows Photo Gallery, which of course does me no good at all. I'm trying to find a setting somewhere that will open the photo in Photoshop, since I want to edit it. This seems like a no-brainer to me and should be the default, so how can I do this? I don't want to have to go through the extra step in Photoshop to open a jpg, save as a psd, etc.
I use this feature in Corel Graphics Suite all the time, and it will automatically open a jpg in Photo Paint, so that it can be edited, and I need this feature in Illustrator.
Thanks!

this works similar in windows as it does on a Mac on the Windows platform you find anywhere on your mounted hard drives a jpeg file right click and choose Properties in the properties panel there is the option to open the file in a specific application and another option to make this so for all similar files of this format.
Once you have made this change all your files of this format will open in the application you have chosen. If you choose photoshop al jpegs will open in Photoshop even from the edit original.

Question about "Edit Edit Original", and a question about efficiency.

I have a background image that I have imported (placed) inside my Indesign document. Problem is that I can't tell how the image will look against the other Indesign layers until I actually import "place" the image. I find myself having to keep going back into photoshop to adjust the hue/saturation or use the brush tool for adjustments. I then save, and from Indesign I update the link.
Having to do this 6 or 7 times in a row until I am satisfied, seems like a huge waste of time. It just seems like it would be SO much easier and less time consuming if I could edit my image in the Indesign image. Is there a workaround?
Here is an analogy. To me it's like an artist painting, but having to run into another room to dip his brush. He rushes back to his painting only to find that he needed just a little bit more yellow added to his white...so he has to run all the way back into the paint room to dip his brush again. I'm sure there is a reason for this work method in Indesign, but I'm just a little confused with it.
Question #2: I have tried going to "Edit>Edit original" in InDesign. Problem is, that the "preview" app pops up instead of photoshop, because I like my psd's and jpgs to automatically open in preview for quick viewing purposes. I've read that the work around is to go into Bridge and change the way a program opens a certain type of image. I did this..I changed it so Photoshop and Indesign should open jpgs by default, yet still allow the osx operating system to still open them in "preview". I tried restarting Indesign to see if it was just something that required a restart to take effect. It still opens "Preview" when I go to Edit>Edit Original.

CS4 adds an edit with feature...other than that sorry, Photoshop is
where you'll need to do the editing.

A question about the Calendar feature on a Samsung SCH-u410?

I have an older Samsung SCH-u410, and I have a question about using the Calendar feature. I will set an event in the calendar and set a reminder. Then later I will turn the reminder off, but the alarm will still go off. Shouldn't setting the reminder box to off turn the alarm off. Am I forgetting to do something or is there a problem with my phone? Any info will be gratefully appreciated!!!! I can be e-mailed directly at >> personal information deleted <<
Thanks,
Randy

Thank you for your post Junebug. On most phones, turning the reminder off will stop the alarm from sounding. As this is a much older device, I don't have a phone to test. Have you tried removing the calendar event completely? Did you recently purchase this phone or have you had this for awhile?

Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
Thanks

1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

Questions about RH Server features

Hi Adobe users,
we're considering to recommend RoboHelp Server as a
publishing solution to a client. They are already using RoboHelp
and want to make the contents available online. Another issue is
centralized management of their help content documents. I'd be very
glad if someone could answer the following questions:
Is it possible to integrate RH Server
with a CRM system or another user management system for
authentication? Can it be integrated in a single sign-on
infrastructure?
How does the access control mechanism
work? Can I set permissions who is allowed to publish certain
documents/projects?
Does it support workflows
(review/accept/reject)? Or is this done using the staging
server?
Does it support content versioning?
Or do we need RH SourceControl for that additionally?
Does it support locking (check-in,
check-out) of documents to allow concurrent editing?
In short - does the RoboHelp server act as a document
management system, or do the authors have to store the contents on
their local computers and publish only the final version? Another
issue is translation management - can the authors publish one
language version, which is translated by other people (in other
countries) and published to the same server?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
Andreas Hartmann

Wow, Andreas. Welcome to the Forums.
That's quite a laundry list!
The answers are pretty much, "yes", if I understand
correctly. That said, I don't know that much about CRMs, so your
mileage may vary.
To start, you might want to take a look at my article on the
Adobe Developer Network for an overall perspective.
Adobe
RoboHelp Server 6 improves the feedback loop
I view RoboHelp and RoboHelp Server as a "content" management
rather than a "document" management system though this is a bit a
semantics. Using variables, conditional build tags and Single
Source Layouts, you can manage the content of your output in a
fairly granular way (including to some level, your translation
issues).
In other words a team of multiple authors can manage the
content of a website in the way you describe with a combination of:
1. The authoring client (RoboHelp's main application) to
develop content and manage it.
2. RoboSource Control (for the check in, check out and
versioning you mentioned) where authoring content source material
is stored on a central server for backup and access by the team.
3. RoboHelp Server for managing the authentication of who has
access to the web server for publishing, etc. RoboHelp Server is an
Active Server Pages application running on IIS, typically with a MS
SQL Server or Oracle DB as the back end. As such, it uses Windows
Server straightforward authentication methods. When you set up the
author's project to publish to the server it will ask you for the
Username and Password. Once this is configured, it's seamless from
there. That login name/password can be the same as whatever you
call your single sign-on pair as long as it conforms to the Windows
Server scheme mentioned earlier.
The RoboHelp author who may be designated as the "admin(s)"
of the team can create and assign permissions from the authoring
client and otherwise manage the Server site remotely without having
to pester the Web Administrator for maintenance of the site.
The staging server scenario you mention is an option that is
completely up to your team and the IT folks. RoboHelp Server
doesn't care one way or another. It's just an application sitting
on a IIS web server. That server could be the "development or
staging" server or the so-called "production" or live server.
The different languages you mention could be published to the
same server and comingled into a single site (kind of messy) or you
could have different language sites (as long as they are different
domains/IP addresses) sitting on the same RoboHelp Server enabled
machine.
Regarding language, one important item to research is the
RoboHelp version you are using and it's language support. The
much-anticipated Adobe RoboHelp 7 (now in beta and expected "before
the end of the year") will have full Unicode/double byte character
support for 35 languages and a wonderful way of handling
translation workflows.
Well, that should get you started. Let me know what I've
missed!
Thanx,
john

Question About Edit of Raw Images

I'm contemplating upgrading to iPhoto 08. It's nice that iPhoto can import raw camera images, but I am trying to understand what it does with them. When you import a raw camera image into iPhoto is it right away converted into some other format? If it's kept in raw format and you edit it, are the edits done on the raw image or some converted format?
I guess what I am getting at is that if there is a conversion to 8-bit grey level images when editing, then the advantage of shooting raw, which could be 12-bit, is lost. If there is a conversion to, say, a 16-bit TIFF, that would be okay.
Unrelated question: How the heck do you do a search just in this forum? The search box at the top right seems to be searching the whole Apple web site.
Thanks.

When iPhoto imports a RAW file it creates a jpg version of it for viewing and editing my iPhoto. Once a modified version is created, the RAW import or first edit of a jpg, further edits are written to an xml file and applied by iPhoto. So you're always one jpg edit away from the original.
As I understand it if you shoot B/W RAW you will get a color jpg version as the RAW contains ALL of the data, including color. The jpg that iPhoto creates is 8 bits per channel.
Now you can set iPhoto to edit the RAW file if you use an external editor like PS or PSE. When you do that a new file has to be created and saved to the desktop and imported as a new file. That the nature of RAW editing and iPhoto.
The current search function has been discontinued temporarily.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

A Question About Editing Clips

I have a project where I have 35 different clips approx 2 minutes each. I want to edit them down to :30 seconds each. No problem there, but how do I save them as just the 'new' :30 clip? I don't ever want to revert to the original clip.
The reason for this is I don't want each clip to be such a large 2 minute file (size wise) when I compile all my different :30 second 'movies'.
Is there a way to trim the excess footage without keeping the embedded file in tact?
Thank you.

aaaah, know I understand.... (why doesn't everybody on this planet speaks english??)
well, you could use an older version of iM; with that, it was possible to "empty the trash"... but that resulted very often in BIG trouble, because the file system of iM got a hickup and the projects got corrupted....
I'm not tired to repeat:
iM has, as many software, a concept; it is meant as a basic edit app for the engineering-challanged-consumer: connect camera, some seconds off, some titles plus, little music, back to tape/burn on disc......
(have a look at that new "magic" feature...some software "decides", what is worth to look at what I have recorded last weekend.... THAT is what I call weird ;-))) )
and:
video is space consuming; I do own three hd, allmost half a terabyte, just for editing my "little son-shine drives trike" movies... ;-)) so, I really don't understand the people complaining they cannot free hd space WHILE doing a project...- the concept of this software says: do your edit, and as long you're doing that, you have access to everything, nothing gets lost... finish your project, and the disc is clean&empty again for a new project...-
another and:
your are able to preview your tape; you are not "forced" to import everything! as Bob Ross would say: now, you have to make a big decision... - import or not to import....
just to mention: all pro-apps work non-distructive too...

Several questions about editing in Premiere

Hey all,
I have basic editing skills in Premiere and am trying to get more advanced skills. So I'm helping out a local non-profit. I'm trying to cut up a video but I have a few questions.
1. If I start a project in Premiere CS5, will I be able to edit it in other versions( 5.5 or 6)?
2. The video came with timecode on it. How do I remove it?
3. The video currently isn't taking up the fill screen. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

1. If I start a project in Premiere CS5, will I be able to edit it in other versions( 5.5 or 6)?
Yes.
2. The video came with timecode on it. How do I remove it?
The timecode is burned-in... the only way to remove it
is to get the original media without timecode on screen.
3. The video currently isn't taking up the fill screen. What am I doing wrong?
It appears your media does not match your sequence settings.

Questions about editing podcasts

I just got my MacBook Pro and switched over recording my podcast to GarageBand and I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored? There are sometimes where I edit a piece but then want to go back and retrieve a part of the audio I cut or does GB delete the audio as you go along?
2) Is there a way to save a single picture/"album art" that will stay the whole time the podcast is played instead of dragging the picture to fit the length of the show in the "podcast" track or by playing the file in iTunes and dragging the picture into the album artwork space?
3) Is there a way to put in ID3 information before exporting to mp3?
4) Not really a GB question, but is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac i.e. making sound clips from a DVD, creative sound blaster cards have the "What U Hear" option, is there something similar to this on the mac?

1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored?
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#aiffsstored
There are sometimes where I edit a piece but then want to go back and retrieve a part of the audio I cut or does GB delete the audio as you go along?
GB's edits are non-destructive, jsut drag the edge of the region out, the audio is still there.
4) is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac
get Audio Hijack, or WireTap

How can I recover deleted folders - also - question about editing/deleting msf files

Context: My wife accidentally deleted a series of folders from Thunderbird v.24.6.0
She says that the system warned her that there was "not enough space" or something like that (she doesn't remember clearly) and asked her if she wanted to "delete them permanently" (or something like that), but she pressed "yes" anyway. She then freaked out, and when I came in to see what she was screaming and crying about, she told me the above story.
SO, after spending the last 2-3 hours reading through help articles and finding my local Mail file/structure, learning about Mork and msf and compacting and X-Mozilla-Status codes, downloading Notepad++ and poking around through some of the files to familiarize myself with their format ... here I am trying to learn how to restore the folders.
Here is where I am at so far:
1. When I went to the Activity Manager, it shows the folders that were deleted, one below the others in a list with the title "Deleted folder foldername" with a dozen different folder names.
2. When I look for the one of the folders that was deleted in the Mail/path/foldername" - I open it (the one without the file extension) in notepad++ and it is empty. There only exists line 1 and there is no text in it (vs. the other folders I check that have the emails in standard From_line format.
This concerns me greatly and leaves me stuck. Did TB actually delete and compact the folder? Are they really deleted, not just X-Mozilla-Status deleted?
3. I don't understand how to restore a folder. I know I can go into a folder and change the X-Mozilla-Status for individual messages - but how to I restore the entire folder? I don't understand how the msf related to the deleted files/folders. It seems like there would be an entry/code somewhere that tells TB - "don't read this entire folder" that I could reverse/edit. I can't figure it out on my own.
4. I understand that, if I delete the foldername.msf file, TB will compact the foldername file. I think I should NOT do this because it will permanently delete the files I want to restore - right?
Any help would be appreciated. I have an unhappy wife. Thank you.

The message she garbled I would assume is that the deletions were to large and that the deleted folder would be bypassed. So all the normal recovery from the trash is simply not possible. There is no Thunderbird magic available unfortunately. So your reduced to using operating system undelete software. I have no idea how that will go, but I just downloaded this http://ntfsundelete.com/download and it does appears to do the job, even if the close text is so pale as to be hard to see.

Question about edit in from lightroom4

Hi
I can get a photo from Lightroom 4 to photoshop elements 11 thru the edit in, with no problem . But, when I go to do a save on the file, it rejects it, and wants me to "save as" and pick a specific folder. It then does not want to go back to Lightroom4 with the edits i made in elements.
I am not sure why it keeps asking me to save as ?
I thought you just edit in from Lightroom4, hit save in elements, then it should flip back into lightroom4 with the changes and show up beside the original photo in lightroom.
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?
Thanks

I have my prefs set to PSD, 8bits + LR develop settings.
As soon as you choose a photo in the Lightroom Library and use Edit In External Editor LR creates a new file next to the original and in the original folder e.g.
IMG_1234Edit.psd or
IMG_1234Edit.tif
In PSE you must save and replace (overwrite) using the file name created by LR.
If you use Save As; you are creating a further copy and would then need to import it separately into Lightroom which creates extra work and you end up with three images instead of two.

A question about editable regions

Thanks for helping out self-taught, little experienced, non-coder....
I am building a new site and would like to use templates and nested templates (I know how to do that). The page I would make my template from can be found here - www.sttimothysanglican.org/Home.html. My question is this, how can I set up 2 nested templates with different content colors? In other words on some pages I would like the white area to be black and in all cases this is the area that needs to be editable.
Thanks again for your advice.

Hi
Style and content are seperate issues.
Style: My approach would be to give <div class="content"> a "Make Attribute Editable..." in the Modify > Templates menu.
Now becuase there is already a class... perhaps give it an id and put in a default value (once in there you'll see what I mean by 'value'. Otherwise your code won't validate with a blank id attribute on the tag. I'd make the default value the 'most often' choice of background colour.
Then in your css file assign the colour. Now you will have to manually asign the 'less often' colour to the pages you want to do this to - with the page open choose Modify Template Properties and you'll find the id listed. You can style all sorts of aspects then using #black h2, #black h3 (colour:white;} for reversed out headings on the black areas.
Content: ... is that not the usual editable area within a nested template? I may be misunderstanding what you want to achieve.
Hope this has helped... I've ripped through this explanation somewhat but if you're as comfy with it all as I think you'll figure it. All the best.

Portal Unstructured Template Question About Edit Links

Hi, I have an unstructured template that I'm making. If I want to use an image for my edit link instead of using this #PAGE.EDITPAGE.LABEL#
How would I block someone who is not allowed from editing a page from seeing the image?

Hi Lorenzo,
you can create a new ivew based on the component com.sap.km.cm.navigation or just copy the iView <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e8/e1401acdfd11d5994200508b5d5211/frameset.htm">Link List</a> located under "Portal Content / Content Provided by SAP / End User Content / Standard Portal Users / iViews / com.sap.km.iviews" and add it to your portal page.
Here you find more information about <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b6/29892e91601940bb7a2cd673a1dff5/content.htm">KM Navigation iViews</a> in general.
After that you go to "Organize Entries" and create some links via Links(Context menu) -> New -> External Link (Internal Links are lins to documents or folders inside KM).
The last thing you have to do is to set the correct permissions. For that you go to "Content Administration -> KM Content -> documents / Links" where you should see your created links and use the context menu to go "Details" -> "Settings" - "Permissions". Remove the group everyone and add the group of users who should be the only ones to see the link.
Do this proccess for every link and you should be done.
Hope this helps,
Robert
PS: Feel free to use the colored stars as another way of saying thanks.

Question about unwelcome new feature: Hyperlink to URL added step

Does anybody know how to, in Numbers 3.0, remove the (very unwelcome) added feature when you click on an active URL, asking if you want to edit it or open it? (Instead of assuming that you want to open it in a browser window, and doing so forthwith.)
To explain that in more detail:
How it used to work. One of the most valuable (to my company) features in the previous version of Numbers was the ability to use the HYPERLINK formula to create a column of URLs that could be clicked on in rapid succession, also using Command-Tab to switch between the browser and Numbers. That is, in Column A you would have a list of domain names, say, 100 of them that you needed to check. In Column B, you would use this formula to create 100 clickable hyperlinks: =HYPERLINK("http://www."&A)
Numbers didn't "stop to ask" if you wanted to open the URL: it assumed, that if you clicked on it, that you wanted to open it up in your browser window.
How it works now: You can use the same formula, but when you click, the extra step has been added of asking if you want to "edit" or "open".
I'm wondering if there's some way around this, to remove this extra step.

John,
Yes, works the same way here. I'll add it to my list of things that are gone. This one will have to get an asterisk since it's not so much gone as lass convenient.

MSI X79A-GD45 8D overclocking 3930k question about Power Saving Features

hi guys
i could do the oc for my 3930k.Now i am on 4.3ghz.Here are the settings i made ;
i didnt change the cpu multiplier left it on auto.
EIST and Turbo features are on.I just change the multpliers of the core limits for every core.I made core limit 43 for all cores.
Also i set the vcore offset feature to %12.5 and it made the voltage under load 1.280 which can hold system stable @ 4.3ghz.
when cpu is idle multiplier and voltage decreasing and when the cpu is under load voltages and multipliers increase.
thats what i want. But;
i tested the vcore offset as %100 the auto voltage under load increases to max 1.344.If i go for 4.8ghz probably i would need more than 1.344 on this situation what will happen?because i will need more than 1.344 but the auto voltage will give me just 1.344.How can we arrange this?
then i tried to enter voltage manually but the voltage didnt decrease even all the power saving features on.I haven't change any settings i mentioned above for the 4.3ghz oc.I just changed the vcore voltage to manuel. Everything stayed the same like decreasing multiplier under idle and increasing multipliers under load except the voltage.It stayed the same as i gave in the bios.
from here
I read from somewhere that on msi boards if you put the cpu multipler manually you loose power saving features.Everytime under load or idle cpu will be stay at the same ghz.Is that true?
if i give the cpu multiplier manuel or vcore voltage can i benefit from the power saving features like decreasing voltages and multiplier under idle and and incresing them under load ?
or when i enter the cpu multiplier and voltage manually ,does the power saving features go away?

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 29-November-12, 19:15:02
VDroop set to 100% is all you are going to get. 1.344v's should get you about 44-46X on the cores on 'Auto'. The voltage goes down from there with the lower VDroop settings. With CPU V. set to 'Auto', you get power saving, soon as the CPU V. is taken out of 'Auto', you lose it. No, the CPU speed may lower, but the voltage going to it will not.
VDroop is not a true offset feature like can be found on other brands of boards. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162779.0
Most folks around the industry recognize 1.350v's as the recommended limit for socket 2011 CPU's, so 1.344v's is fairly close to that anyway.
So when i set the voltage and the cpu multiplier i loose power saving features right?
Thanks for the reply
